State Fair

Utah State Fair
For some reason growing up I have always loved animals! It hasn't really mattered what animal it is but I love them! We have always had a dog in our house and livng by Brother Drake and his farm that made me just love them. So for some reason as a little girl I always wanted a horse (and still do, should have been a country girl). But I use to tell my dad that it was a dream of mine to be a cow girl and be a barrel racer in the rodeo! So to help with that my parents took us to Wyoming when we were younger to go and ride the horses. I didn't have the best experience since I fell off the horse but it didn't make me love them any less. When Travis proposed to me he took me horse back riding at a friends ranch (Walt Christensen). So my love for horses grew! Walt every year at the state fair takes some of his horses and shows them off, also known as show horses. So we thought that we would go and watch!





This is Walt and one of his horses and buggie (however you spell it)



At the fair they have all the different animals like; rabbits, cows, goats, sheep etc. Well they had one of the biggest cows there. She weighed over 3000 pounds! Let's just say she was huge. It was a good thing she was that big since there was kids all around her and sitting on her. She was probably to fat to stand up and get them off. So here she is!!



She probably doesn't look that big in the picture but she was HUGE!!!
